Byblos Le Petit Café

Vivian

4.0

If you're used to Western breakfasts like omelets, English ham & sausage, & Mon coco etc, try a traditional Iranian breakfast.

Byblos Restaurant is named after a city in present-day Libya with a 7,000-year history, once ruled by the Persian Empire.

Naan, feta cheese, dill herbs, olives, & radish, along with a cup of sweet Persian tea, make up the essential Persian breakfast. The warm, freshly baked bread & naan, paired with homemade jam from an Iranian mother, & the aromatic flavors of ginger & rose petals, create a rich & complex flavor.

Add scrambled eggs between pita bread for a complete & luxurious Iranian breakfast.

I love this place as a cafe strictly. Great to work & hang out in the evening (one of the only local coffee shops open late during the week besides the weirdly early closing times from Mon - Wednesday now), but the food is, as most people have mentioned in reviews, pretty lackluster. Good soup & fantastic chocolate cardamom cake, but I probably wouldn't have supper here again. You really want to stay for the atmosphere: cozy, relaxed, airy & spacious with plants & huge windows, but the service is quite bad. After returning multiple times, it seems the staff begins to ignore you after coming by once, & will not clear your table until you leave...dirty plates with bones were left on our table after we were done eating & were not cleared for 30 minutes even though we wanted to stay for tea afterwards. Consistently poor service, unfortunately

Great spot to bring your laptop or a card game & some friends & to spend the day! In the summer their windows open fully into an open air terasse & in the winter you can tuck yourself into a cozy bench with cushions & Persian tea!

They're not the fastest service so it's more the spot to head when you're not in a rush, but the food is delicious & the decor & ambiance is really special too.

I love this place! This is just the type of restaurant I had been looking for in Montreal: beautiful simple space, quiet (no loud music & tables not too close) in a way conducive to conversation, with tasty & healthy food & lovely presentation. & the tea pots & small cups on these individual trays are a pleasure. I had the koukou with a perfectly seasoned side salad, & my party had the feta omelette. We had a delightful time. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality & surroundings. I have already told my friends about this restaurant & will be back. Thank you!

Family owned restaurant! Beautiful. Amazing atmosphere- I enjoyed my plate of the day, the mint tea was amazing. The employees are incredibly nice. Service was quick. I would definitely return. The menu can be confusing for newcomers, but it isn't really an issue for most of us who just want to enjoy a nice day !

1. clockwise: sweet bread & pita, unlimited persian tea with 3 different types of sugar cubes presented in a beautiful little brass dish..., extraneous side of feta, honey, assorted yoghurts. & an unpictured tomato onion feta omelette 2. assorted dips + bowl of coffee everything was delicious, the tomato omelette especially so but probably because it reminds me so much of chinese tomato egg but with a different texture. & i love how the entire wall is completely open window lined with so many plants!!! perfect for people watching & enjoying summer ai

The fluffy feta omelette is delicious! Warm bread & a good variety of jams. The service was friendly & kind. We had two different teas & both were great! Will come back for lunch & dinner.

You wish there was a place with a warm inviting atmosphere, but not too granola, with rich textiles & natural light, & authentic delicious food? It's Byblos. Grab a small table by the window & have some cardamom chocolate cake with Iranian spiced tea, or a cookie plate to share with a date. Their long group table in the back also makes this place perfect for large family dinners, or work gatherings. Their staff are friendly & considering how great this place is, I'm always shocked there's a free table. Enjoy this place now before it blows up & has a line down the block!

The place is cozy & the old traditional Iranian design making it a calm place to spend an hour. In between there is no parking close to the place. I recommend you to order tea & enjoy the place because the food portion is very small & it isn't worth it to spend money . We heard about their special "Dizy" , which is basically meat/ beans like "Abgoosht" but has to make in special pottery pot & that make it special. However the food was cooked in regular pot & it served only in special pot ( Dizy), it was also cold. The table was not cleaned. They didn't bring spoon for Meze. The waiter was nice guy & had artistic style which made him special.

Such a cute & pleasant local resto...Byblos serves Persian style cuisine for breakfast, lunch & dinner...organized in their menu by chapters (a very nice concept). The decor in this two room bistro is somewhat simplistic but gets the job done; & you are there to try some interesting takes on dishes that you probably would not normally have had the opportunity to experience. We were a large group & ordered a wide selection from the First Chapter of the menu: Fried Eggs with Dill (very good), Feta Omelet (good...a bit on the salty side), Date Omelet (excellent...a mix of sweet & savory that we have not experienced before), & the Feta/Halva/Sweet Bread plate (very good...nice assortment of jams to apply to the breads & pitas allow for a lot of experimentation). All the meals include tea or coffees (all of which were very good). NOTE: The omelets are not prepared in a typical way & are very runny & loose (see picture for reference...so be prepared). Service was excellent...super friendly & informative with the meal being served quite quickly even though the restaurant was almost a peak capacity. Certainly worth a visit...& after you meal, take a stroll along this section of Laurier to check out the many unique local shops. Enjoy!
